Helix humpers for Bowser locomotives

[NW Modeling List]

Ken,
Thank you for the link and photo. I have seen that photo of which was taken
1-2 months after delivery of the first units.  Unless I can find additional
information from the archives it looks like I will be adding the grab irons
to my locomotives.  It's hard to believe that Bowser missed that detail.
Thanks again.
Larry Brown
